Instead of thinking the worst about people you could give them the benefit of the doubt. Most obvious with your example of a hike is that most men don’t want their yarmulkes to get sweaty. A dirty, grungy, sweaty yarmulke is very disrespectful imo so most men will wear a hat instead. Obviously sweating is not the answer to every situation but there are more obvious basic answers for most people
I thik it is because in those circles if you can use bobby pins or clips, you’re hair is too long and if you need pins or clips, you’re yarmulka is too small.
Um: Thank you for coming, I’m so glad you’re here…
My parents won’t be home for yom tov so they have a neighbor who turned over 2 weeks ago already and has been cooking by my parents in my parents’ dishes!
I would if it was kept in the freezer.
I flew to Israel alone recently so was able to accomodate others who needed to switch (families separated, etc.) and did so twice. But when the person next to me was asked to switch with a man who was sitting next to a mother who had to nurse during the flight I offered to swith b/c I thought I’d rather sit next to a woman and an infant than a man- I had visions of falling asleep and waking up with my head on his shoulder! However when I switched it wasn’t a mother with an infant it was a mother with a toddler so whenever she nursed I got kicked in the kidneys. And I got chewed up smushed cracker all over me and my pillow taken. Oh well. Hindsight is 20/20 and I would’ve much rather have sat next to the man but we all survived!
This is getting more ridiculous by the minute. It is not a favor to get paid. I am not doing my employer a favor by showing up to work. If you don’t take payment and it is a favor, then it should be done as such and not begrudgingly. If I ask you last minute probably it is because what childcare I had arranged fell through. I don’t expect it will be easy to find a sitter last minute but I am not going to not try just because my original plans didn’t work out.
However I do agree with the food/ drink part and always try to mention a few specific things I have they can take along with “feel free to take anything you want.” I say this even to my niece who knows where everything is just so she knows if she gets hungry she can feel free to find sonmething. I also try to leave money if it’s during dinner time that they can order pizza to be delivered.
But if I don’t offer food or do call last minute, that doesn’t mean I “can’t handle” a babysitter. As pointed out, if you don’t want to take the job, say no.
It may be too far away to be helpful but selling Mother’s Day breakfast baskets is a good fundraiser. People order based on how many servings they need and Mother’s Day morning a basket is delivered to the door with breakfast- bagels, cc, lox, pastry, juice, etc.
My husband got me a remote starter for my car for my birthday. I was like “OK.. thanks!” but my birthday is in Sept and now that it is freezing I LOVE it. Obviously if you have a garage it’s not a great gift b/c she wouldn’t necessarily have to be tznius to warm the car up but as I don’t have a garage it’s great for me!
I did it last year- it was fantastic! I wanted to do it again but I was out of the country. Hopefully next year!
Oomis- I don’t know specifically who invented EZ Pass but when I had my Touro orientation they brought up a number of times that the EZ Pass creator was a frum woman Touro graduate.
